"Who is the target user" is a rhetorical question...but the article is trying to make a call for KDE (and linux software in general) to appeal to more novice users. There are a lot of potential novice computer users who would like "a great desktop without the tech giants owning your computer" like KDE if it was “Simple by default, powerful when needed”.
Looks great, hopefully they wont make same mistakes as Mozilla. Increasing audience has that drawback, where they may remove "customization" features for sake "simplicity".
